Description

NHS Essex Integrated Care Board (the Authority) intend to award a contract for provision of Primary Enhanced Services to the existing provider (GP Primary Choice Ltd (GPPC)) following a direct award process C under the Provider Selection Regime 23. Pursuant to the statutory changes effective from 1 April 2026, the commissioning responsibility for this service transferred from NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board to NHS Essex Integrated Care Board. Accordingly, the service constitutes an inherited commissioning arrangement arising directly from the organisational transition. Primary Enhanced Services are commissioned in addition to the Core and Mandatory requirements set out within the NHS Standard Contract. These services build on the essential primary medical services that all providers are contractually required to deliver, offering additional, specified activities aimed at improving access, quality, and patient outcomes. Providers must continue to meet all Core and Mandatory obligations while delivering any Enhanced Service provision. The approximate lifetime value of the contract including any extension if enacted is £6,017,452 (excluding VAT). The contract commences 1 October 2026 - 30 September 2027 with an option to extend for a further period of 12 months from 1 October 2027 - 30 September 2028.
